of the pins from the sockets 41 the springs 39 being under tension will rotate the bar12 so as to bring the bumper or whi pper bar into whip-like action against the limb or legs of the animal and thereby tend to frighten the animaland 'cause the same to leave the restrictedarea. a

As soon as the animalls foot is removed from the step the springs 28 being under tension will rotate the rocker bar 33 man opposite direction and the pins will engage the I arms 19 and reseat the device in the position shown in Fig. 1. r

So as to limit retroactive movement of the bar 12 there is provided stop lugs 48 adapted to engage the lower end portions .4t9of the ,limbs 50-of the bumper or whipper bar.

My device may be placed at the point of entrance to an area which is muddy so as to fore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set fortlnbut desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is: e

1. A device ofthe character described ineluding two rotatable members arranged 1n parallel spaced relation with respect to each other, block members supporting said rotat- L able members for. rotation, resilient means 1 in one directlon and havlng connecting with tor urging rotationof one of said members theother of said rotatable members, a step carried by said other of the rotatablemembers for rotating said other of the'rotatable members to place said resilient means under tension to, rotate said one of the rotatable members at a predetermined time, latch means operable by rotation of said other of the rotatable members for holding said one of rotatable members against rotation by action of'saidresilient means, and a whippcr bar earned by said one of the rotatable-members.

2. A device of the character described including two rotatable members arranged in parallel spaced relation with respect to each other, block members supporting said rotatable members for rotation, resilient means 1 tor urging rotation of one of sald members in one direction and having connection with the other of said rotatable members, a step earned by saidother of the rotatable members for rotating said other of the rotatable 1 members to place said resilient means under tension to rotate said one of the rotatable ,members at a predetermined time,latch means operable by rotation of-said other of the rotatable members for holding said one of rotatable members. against rotation by action of said resilient means, a whipper bar carried by said one of the rotatable members, and means for rotating said rotatable members in corresponding directionsopposite to the rotation of saidone of the rotatable members by action of said resilient means. 7

5. A device of thercharacter described including two rotatable members arranged in parallelspaced relation with respect to each other block members supporting said rotatable members for rotation, spring members having connection to said rotatable members for urging rotation of one of said members in one direction and having connection with the other of said rotatable members, a step carried by said other of the ro- 4. A device of the character stated includ-,

6. A device of the character described ineluding tWo' rotatable members arranged in. parallel spaced relation with respect to, each other, block members supporting said rotatable members for. rotation, spring members having connection to said rotatable'memhers for urging rotation of one of said membersin one direction and having connection With the other of saidrotatable members, a

20 step carried by said other, of the rotatable J 7 members for rotating said other of the rotatable members to place said resilient means I under tension to rotate said one oftherotab. able members at a predetermined time, latch V 25 means operable by rotation of said other of e the rotatable members for holdingsaid one of the rotatable members against rotation by ac; 7. tion of said resilient means, a Whipper bar V carried by said one of the rotatable members, '7 30 and means for rotatingsaid rotatable mem- 1 bore in corresponding directions opposite to; a v the rotation of said one of the rotatable members by action-of said resilient means. i

In testimony whereof I alfix my signature.
